    However, the female manta ray with the peanut butter is more interested in finding a jellyfish.

    Man walks into a bar with an octopus

    He says, “I bet anyone $50 they can’t bring me a musical instrument this octopus can’t play.”

    People in the bar look around, talk amongst themselves, and someone brings up an acoustic guitar. The octopus looks at the guitar, tests the strings, tunes it, and begins playing a country song.

    Next somebody brings a trumpet. The octopus looks at the trumpet, adjusts the keys, licks its lips, and begins playing a jazz solo on the trumpet.

    The bartender’s been watching this. He goes out back, and after a few minutes comes back with a set of bagpipes. He sets the bagpipes on the counter and says, _"I bet you $100 the octopus can’t play this.

    The octopus takes the bagpipes and looks at them. Then turns them over and looks at them from another angle. Then turns them again.

    The guy’s getting impatient. “Quit screwing around, just start playing.”

    The octopus says, “Play? First I have to figure out how to take her pajamas off!”

    The Choo-Choo from the term “Choo-Choo train” is NOT referring to the whistle. It refers to the sound that the old steam locomotives made when they were under way that sounded like chuff-chuff-chuff-chuff. And the whistle went TOOT TOOT! But my grandkids all think that the whistle goes choo-choo.

    Also, Octopi are know to enlist fish to help them hunt for prey and punch them with their tentacles is they are not cooperating well.

    Octopi resemble married human couples with some extra “arms” thrown in.

    All of this is too-human behavior. Especially the males following a single female around.

    But in the case of the manta rays, I suspect the guys are just after the peanut butter!

    Given what happens to an octopus after reproducing, it makes sense they’d be selective with their mates.

    How can they tell which are the female and male octopi?

    Octopuses have also been known to punch fish when they’re in a bad mood, and it looks freaking hilarious
